The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has attached the bank and post office accounts of Surbhi Aggarwal in a front-running case. The move comes under recovery proceedings initiated by the market regulator. Separately, SEBI also attached Aggarwal's demat account and mutual fund folios. Both notices were issued on August 19, 2026, in the matter of front-running by Navnit Gadoya, Surbhi Aggarwal, and Chiranggi Irish Shah. Aggarwal has been declared a defaulter by SEBI. The regulator is seeking to recover dues under the recovery certificate.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both notices are straightforward regulatory enforcement actions from SEBI. There is no alternative framing or political angle in the coverage. The key point is that the regulator is moving to recover money by attaching multiple asset types simultaneously, indicating a coordinated enforcement push. Watch for whether Aggarwal challenges the attachment in court or if other parties in the case face similar action. Total words: 60.
